    Abstract: Early-onset breast cancer (EOBC) causes substantial loss of life and productivity, creating a major burden among women worldwide. We analyzed 1,265,548 Hapmap3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) among a discovery set of 3,523 EOBC incident cases and 2,702 population control women ages ≤ 51 years. The SNPs with smallest P values were examined in a replication set of 3,470 EOBC cases and 5,475 control women. We also tested EOBC association with 19,684 genes by annotating each gene with putative functional SNPs, and then combining their P values to obtain a gene-based P value. We examined the gene with smallest P value for replication in 1,145 breast cancer cases and 1,142 control women. The combined discovery and replication sets identified 72 new SNPs associated with EOBC (P & lt; 4 × 10−8) located in six genomic regions previously reported to contain SNPs associated largely with later-onset breast cancer (LOBC). SNP rs2229882 and 10 other SNPs on chromosome 5q11.2 remained associated (P & lt; 6 × 10−4) after adjustment for the strongest published SNPs in the region. Thirty-two of the 82 currently known LOBC SNPs were associated with EOBC (P & lt; 0.05). Low power is likely responsible for the remaining 50 unassociated known LOBC SNPs. The gene-based analysis identified an association between breast cancer and the phosphofructokinase-muscle (PFKM) gene on chromosome 12q13.11 that met the genome-wide gene-based threshold of 2.5 × 10−6. In conclusion, EOBC and LOBC seem to have similar genetic etiologies; the 5q11.2 region may contain multiple distinct breast cancer loci; and the PFKM gene region is worthy of further investigation. These findings should enhance our understanding of the etiology of breast cancer. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 23(4); 658–69. ©2014 AACR.

    Abstract: Identifying genetic variants with pleiotropic associations can uncover common pathways influencing multiple cancers. We took a two-stage approach to conduct genome-wide association studies for lung, ovary, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer from the GAME-ON/GECCO Network (61,851 cases, 61,820 controls) to identify pleiotropic loci. Findings were replicated in independent association studies (55,789 cases, 330,490 controls). We identified a novel pleiotropic association at 1q22 involving breast and lung squamous cell carcinoma, with eQTL analysis showing an association with ADAM15/THBS3 gene expression in lung. We also identified a known breast cancer locus CASP8/ALS2CR12 associated with prostate cancer, a known cancer locus at CDKN2B-AS1 with different variants associated with lung adenocarcinoma and prostate cancer, and confirmed the associations of a breast BRCA2 locus with lung and serous ovarian cancer. This is the largest study to date examining pleiotropy across multiple cancer-associated loci, identifying common mechanisms of cancer development and progression.

    Abstract: The presence of the PvuII or the XbaI polymorphism in the estrogen receptor α gene (ESR1, 6q25) has been related to breast cancer risk; however, results are not fully consistent. To further elucidate this relation, we examined these polymorphisms in relation with mammographic density, a measure of dense tissue in the breast, which is strongly associated with breast cancer risk. For this study, 620 participants aged 49 to 68 years were selected from the Prospect-European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort. Blood samples, lifestyle– and medical questionnaire data and mammograms were available for these women. Genotyping was done using the TaqMan PCR assay and mammographic density was assessed using a computer-assisted method. Means of mammographic density were compared by ESR1 genotypes and haplotypes. The percentage density was higher in women with one or two copies of the PvuII p allele (means for Pp and pp are 37% and 36%, respectively) than in those with the PP genotype (32%, Ptrend = 0.09). Women with one or two copies of the XbaI x allele had higher mean percentage density (Xx and xx, 36% and 37%, respectively) than those with the XX genotype (31%, Ptrend & lt; 0.01). Haplotype 1 (px) was associated with increased density, whereas haplotype 2 (PX) was associated with decreased density, both suggesting an allele-dose effect (Ptrend = 0.08 and & lt;0.01, respectively). Similar associations were found with absolute density (Ptrend & lt; 0.01). The findings of this study support the view that ESR1 polymorphisms may affect breast cancer risk through differences in breast density.

    Abstract: Folic acid and vitamin B12 play key roles in one-carbon metabolism. Disruption of one-carbon metabolism may be involved in the risk of cancer. Our aim was to assess the long-term effect of supplementation with both folic acid and vitamin B12 on the incidence of overall cancer and on colorectal cancer in the B Vitamins for the Prevention of Osteoporotic Fractures (B-PROOF) trial. Methods: Long-term follow-up of B-PROOF trial participants (N = 2,524), a multicenter, double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial designed to assess the effect of 2 to 3 years daily supplementation with folic acid (400 μg) and vitamin B12 (500 μg) versus placebo on fracture incidence. Information on cancer incidence was obtained from the Netherlands cancer registry (Integraal Kankercentrum Nederland), using the International Statistical Classification of Disease (ICD-10) codes C00–C97 for all cancers (except C44 for skin cancer), and C18–C20 for colorectal cancer. Results: Allocation to B vitamins was associated with a higher risk of overall cancer [171 (13.6%) vs. 143 (11.3%); HR 1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.00–1.53, P = 0.05]. B vitamins were significantly associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer [43(3.4%) vs. 25(2.0%); HR 1.77; 95% CI, 1.08–2.90, P = 0.02] . Conclusions: Folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation was associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Impact: Our findings suggest that folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Further confirmation in larger studies and in meta-analyses combining both folic acid and vitamin B12 are needed to evaluate whether folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation should be limited to patients with a known indication, such as a proven deficiency.

    Abstract: Postmenopausal hormone therapy increases mammographic density, a strong breast cancer risk factor, but effects vary across women. We investigated whether the effect of hormone therapy use is modified by polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) genes in the Dutch Prospect-EPIC and the English EPIC-Norfolk cohorts. Information on hormone therapy use was obtained through questionnaires at recruitment and after 5 years. Blood samples were collected and consecutive mammograms were available through breast cancer screening programs. For 795 hormone therapy users, one mammogram before and a second mammogram during hormone therapy use was included. For 781 never hormone therapy users, mammograms with similar time intervals were included. Mammographic density was assessed using a computer-assisted method. Changes in density were analyzed using linear regression. A statistically significant difference in percentage density change between hormone therapy users and never users was seen in women with the ESR1 PvuII Pp or pp genotype (2.24%; P & lt; 0.01), but not in those with the PP genotype (0.90%; P = 0.47). Similarly, effects of hormone therapy on percentage density were observed in women with the ESR1 XbaI Xx or xx genotype (2.20%; P & lt; 0.01), but not in those with the XX genotype (−0.65%; P = 0.70). Also, effects were seen in women with the PGR +331 GG genotype (2.04%; P & lt; 0.01), but not in those with the GA or AA genotype (0.98%; P = 0.53). The PGR PROGINS polymorphism did not seem to make women more susceptible to the effects of hormone therapy use. In conclusion, our results suggest that specific polymorphisms in the ESR1 and PGR genes may make women more susceptible to the effects of hormone therapy use on mammographic density.
